Yeah, mine didn't work either but what real purpose did it serve? Not really bright enough to light up the frunk if you needed to find something in the dark. I'd just carry a flashlight in the...

On second thought, I'd get rid of the red thing and just get a...

If your Boxster isn't an "S", I'd keep it, because you're not going to get very much for it. And as mentioned above, you're going to want a 4 door. I bought a BRZ in February and while a baby seat...

You always hear $2k a year and maybe one year it's only $1k but next year it's going to be 3. In 7 years I spent less than $2,000 on an '03 base that started out with 80k miles. Biggest...

+1 for the Ebay decals. I put them on many years ago and they've held up fine. Didn't clear coat them or anything. And like others have said, they send out six in case you mess up.
